Yep exactly that. You put the eraser in a drill and erase anything you want. It took the pinstripes right off with very little effort. Same thing for the leftover glue and crap from the moldings and badges.

Everyone has their price. I'd probably settle at 20 grand. Hey why not. My buddy has a beat up old Toyota truck 4x4 extremely hard to find in our area . He loves the thing. People ask if he's selling it all the time. You know what he says? 10 grand and it's yours. Is it worth that? Hell no... But if someone whips out 10k its gone believe you me. Lol.

Those eraser wheels are great, I used one for my door moulding adhesive too.

Right now I have simulated beadlocks and I've seen some people custom make their own and add them to their d windows or whatever rim they're running.. Question - could I add REAL beadlocks on top of my simulated ones?
The simulated inner ring would not be strong enough to handle real use, (I would think as most true inners are 1/4 plate or maybe 3/16) and from the simulates I have seen the inner is set up different then true locks. As in the seating of the tire would not seal, or would not grip. Hope that helped I could be wrong tho....

Ok pore pics but this is how a true locked rim works.

This means that the out side as well as the inside ring are under a large amount of force. Alot of force.
Now this is a pic of how thick rings are for simulated locks.

Extremely thin, and not durable. Now I believe that the inside rings are the same thickness. And are not flush to the outside edge of the rim. Like they would need to be.


See how these true locks, have the inner ring on the edge. This is crucial in sealing the bead of the tire. Without this the tire would deflate.
My opinion would be buy a set of true locks, or buy a DIY kit. Insurance may be more money but it can be the difference between life and death, accident and returning home. Just my opinion.

That cut and fold job is sweet. Nice job. If you haven't purchased sliders yet I say to with jcr for sure. I run a bumper, steering upgrade, and sliders from them and they are all extremely stout. Plus they are a good company to deal with.

Busted- okay thanks man, I guess I will just have to get some true beadlocks a little later on.. Probably when I get new tires.
Crawlin- I appreciate it.. I love the JCR sliders. I am on the fence between just getting the JCRs or getting my shop to custom fab some for me. I will be looking for steering upgrades in the near future as well.
